FragM

This is derived from Mikael Hvidtfeldt Christensen's Fragmentarium representing a compilation of features and fixes contributed by many users at FractalForums since 2013.

Status

FragM now uses submodules for the Examples folder and user contributed subfolders.

Examples repo https://github.com/3Dickulus/Fragmentarium_Examples_Folder

when cloning the repo use 'git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/3Dickulus/FragM.git'
when checking out a branch use 'git checkout --recurse-submodules <branchname>'
when updating from the online repo 'git submodule update --init --remote --recursive'

as a result of this the source archive files provided by github are lacking the Example/files
so an auxiliary archive will be provided on the release page that has the complete sources.

Changes since v0.9.5

Please see https://github.com/3Dickulus/FragM/blob/master/Fragmentarium-Source/3Dickulus.changes
and git logs for all of the changes since 2.0.

Guidelines for contributing

1. any new feature should work on the widest range of hardware, ( AMD Intel and nVidia ) all if possible
2. any changes to existing features must be compatible with the existing fragment base
3. priority should go towards handling more modern GLSL versions and practices
4. changes and additions must be tested against all other features, animating, timeline management,
   easing curve controls etc... and render the base frags properly.

...of course none of this is carved in stone and I'm always open for discussing ideas.

Notes

The deb and rpm packages should take care of any dependencies when installing via apt / synaptic or yast / zypper.

The Windows .7z file is an archive with everything FragM needs to run, includes all of the required Qt and runtime DLLs, this can be extracted and placed anywhere.

The best version will be the one you compile yourself because it will be optimized for your hardware setup.
